UNSPSC 50423420: Dried telegraph cucumbers

The variety of cucumbers known as telegraph cucumbers that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50423420 Dried telegraph cucumbers (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code solicited dried beans, canned and fresh produce, dairy products, proteins, frozen entrees, beverages, and miscellaneous institutional food items — but no telegraphs or cucumber products of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local system or that dried telegraph cucumber procurement, if it occurs, operates under different UNSPSC codes or vendor relationships in the market today.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing institutional food products under adjacent dried-goods and food-supply codes include the Georgia Department of Corrections, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Edinburg Parks and Recreation Department (via the Boys & Girls Club CACFP program), and Georgia's central purchasing office. Recent solicitations span Georgia (kidney beans, IFB 92100ERFQ0020612027, due October 9, 2026; mixed food supplies, due June 22, 2026), Oregon (dried black beans, due August 21, 2026; dried pinto and red beans, due June 19, 2026), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products, IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026 as extended), Illinois (weekly food orders, due June 26, 2026), and Texas again (CACFP meal service, RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026). These procurements typically specify USDA grading, bulk delivery to central distribution centers or institutional kitchens, and compliance with food-safety standards; the Texas TDCJ and Oregon corrections buys are among the largest, spanning hundreds of line items and multiple delivery points. No recent state or local opportunities explicitly under UNSPSC 50423420 are present in the source.
